Discuss with your peers the following statements:
- Summative assessments are usually high stakes, meaning they have a high mark value
- Formative assessments are usually low stakes, meaning they have a low mark value
Do you agree that the above is the correct way of weighting the assessments? Is it fair that summative assessments carry such a high mark value? Do formative assessments not offer a better evaluation that learning has actually taken place?
